“Nearly 8 of out 10 Americans are willing to pay up to $100 for a medical device that monitors their vital signs, according to an IBM survey that tracks trends in the use of mobile devices in healthcare. Fewer than 10% of respondents are paying out-of-pocket charges for such devices today, but more than one-third expect to do so within the next two years.”
This is great. Trends in miniaturization of sensors, mobile connectivity, and accountable care are creating the right conditions for health sensors to boom. This article summarizes a survey done by IBM (disclaimer: my employer) with a whole slew of very interesting findings – a state of the market, so to speak.
Do you know anyone using mobile snsored devices to track health info for their health care provider?
